Yes, absolutely, I think it would be a wonderful thing to have a take note debate in the House. We understand that when those happen, when members of Parliament speak in the House, it's noted in Iran and it does have an impact. It not only cautions the Iranian government, but it encourages those who are sitting in prison that they're not sitting in the darkness, that people know about their situation.
Mr. Khanjani, one of the seven Bahá'í leaders, was 76 when he was arrested, which means that as of May 14, if he's not 80, he'll shortly be 80. His wife died while he was in prison. Although Iranian law allows prisoners compassionate leave to go to the bedside of an ailing spouse or to attend a funeral, he was allowed neither.
There's a gratuitous level of cruelty that accompanies the persecution of the Bahá'ís in Iran, and I think it would be very timely if the Canadian Parliament would speak to this issue.
